What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
-
My girlfriends phone was having issues connecting to self hosted servers, so I set her DNS from private to network default. Hope this helps and android users that may have issues.
-
No problem. They really should spend about 10 hours having somebody make a GUI for it
-
I already saw copyparty but it appears to me to be a pretty large codebase for something so simple. I don't want to have to keep up with that because there's no way I'm reading and vetting all that code; it becomes a security problem.
It is still easier and infinitely more secure to grab a USB drive, a bicycle and just haul ass across town. Takes less time, too.

Linksys MR7360. I just got official support, so i had to install a snapshot and manually install luci.
Why this one? Because it was 50% off due to a local shop closing. Last one on the shelf too.

You could always toss it in a sandbox for some isolation
but yeah I get you, all of the optional features does mean more code.It's a shame that browsers make stuff like chunked uploading so tricky, so even just the essentials would be a fair bit of logic -- and you won't get optimal upload speeds without sending chunks in parallel. And the corruption detection is also worth its weight in gold... Ah well, it is what it is hehe

I kinda shied away from tailscale because "I wanted to do it on my own" but I've just set up tailscale (while on a train no less) and it was really simple ... Guess I'll run with it for now
now I'll just have to set up the send/receive scripts but that's just some BASHing my head against a wall 
Thanks for the suggestion!
-
I have no idea lmao, prob a type, I had streams and pleroma as well
-
I initially fd it up because I didnt deselect everything but the apps, but I at least thought to backitup and dload it locally beforehand so it was an easy/quick recovery

I'm running Nextcloud and PaperlessNXG on my servers. Over the last few months I tested out my remote management. Now that I'm back home, I've been making a few adjustments based on my learnings. Firstly, Wireguard is slower than a turtle, while Tailscale has been a little bit faster. I'm guessing this is due to my upload speed and switching to fiber may fix this.
I'd also like to add TubeArchivist back in since there's some great videos that I don't trust Google to preserve given the direction things are going.
The folks on the "privacy" Lemmy gave me some good tips on app replacements and after making a big spreadsheet with all my apps, their licenses, etc., I cut down my remaining proprietary apps by at least 50% and I only have a few proprietary essentials that still depend on Google Play. I've been meaning to do this for a long time and I almost have a path towards completely removing all Google, Amazon, and Microsoft products from my life.
Next, I'd like to set up Wander to eventually get rid of Garmin/Strava but I haven't been able to figure it out and I'm still locked in to some degree because of my hardware (Garmin watch). The Ring doorbell has to be the next thing to go, but I'm exhausted and haven't had the motivation to start a new project until the dust settles from the last one.

If you want to have more control about it and become independent of the SaaS offering, you can even selfhost headscale, a FOSS tailscale control server. I run it myself with zero issues.
-
Yeah I saw that. It's definitely intriguing. For now I'm good with the free tailscale but might look into it.
What's your experience with headscale? It's mostly a broker right so probably not to Ressource excessive? I have a small public VPS for getting to my selfhosted infrastructure so I might just add in headscale there -
Headscale is pretty light on resources, especially since it doesn't come with a webui (there is third-party ones like headplane you can use though). RAM usage is like 70mb for me currently.
-
I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.
-
Ok, i use it as a onedrive/google drive replacement . Also i use the calendar and contact function .
-
Kind of, though with rules. I think I'm describing something closer to structured, encrypted torrents.
